| Nice finds, especially the copperhead and milksnake. Dont you hate it when you just barely miss a snake? This past spring when I was there I was really wanting to find a hognose. While I was walking the road I rounded a corner and saw to guys up ahead talking and looking into the woods. When I got up to them, they told me they had just released a hognose. I looked around in that area for 15 minutes, but never found it. You making any more trips back down? I just looked at the weather and I bet Thursday - Monday or Tuesday will be pretty good. |

| Andrew, Were you the guy looking for the just missed rattlesnake when Ryan and his dad and brother were coming up the trail from the other direction? If so, I was the guy in the white "so many snakes, so little time" shirt who came up from behind in a group of 4 with my wife and her folks.

| Mitchell-I wish I could go back, but I think my weekends are pretty well booked for quite a few more weekends. Wayne-I think that probably was me (blue NYC hat). I wondered if I might have unknowingly run into others on the forum. |

| Andrew, Sounds like some good finds and thanks for your other post with great photos as usual. Obviously I don't get out as much as some of you, but if that's "slow" then I hope it's "slow" on Saturday when I'm there. Thanks again. Evan |
